Boynton Beach Commissioners Say No to Outrageous Pay Raise Loophole

Boynton Beach commissioners are now saying no to voting for a budget allowing a couple of hundred thousand a year of taxpayer dollars to be split between the commissioners’ five ways for personal expenses. 

A few short days ago, Florida Jolt reported that Boynton Beach Commissioners were discussing voting for an outrageous pay raise loophole that would allow local government to bypass the will of the residents to give themselves “stipends” for such items as clothing and car expenses.

A couple of days later, some commissioners distanced themselves from the disastrous idea and threw City Manager Dan Dugger under the bus, claiming the idea was all his doing and that they had no clue what was happening. Dugger immediately manned up and took full responsibility but didn’t have an answer when asked what gave him the idea in the first place that the commissioners needed a raise.
